I recall Dan telling me he sampled a Yamaha PSS keyboard for this, although I don't recall which model. These are classic FM donk and bell sounds, and work really well for the song. Watching the sample names in a player is really fun, too.

[this is a duplicate module with https://modarchive.org/module.php?34651 , comments still apply.] This nails a very classic tracker sound, not just due to the ST samples. The sparse arrangement and song structure contribute to the wistful melancholy mood that oozes out of this one. I think this is one of the few original 15-sample soundtracker modules I ran across when building my collection back in the day...

Fun cover of Italo-disco track Visitors by Koto. I loved the voice samples.

some background from the composer... Gompers High School was looking to modernize their computer labs, and myself and two fellow students put together a proposal for a unix-based lab to update the PDP11/44 and 11/23 RSTS/E systems used for FORTRAN, BASIC, and during some years, PDP11 assembly. We were thinking a 486 for a file server, 386SX for the workstations, and I vaguely recall either SCO or Coherent being proposed for OS. (BSD vs SysV debates were common among our group.) A campus-wide Ethernet backbone was also part of the proposal, so existing computers in classrooms (we had some macs and IIgs along with Apple II+) and the library (IBM PS/2 and a Tandy 1000) could potentially be brought online. We were included in a district-level conference and discussion, provided a presentation, and the administrators seemed impressed, but in retrospect I'm not sure how much of it was a polite pat-on-the-head or if we were actually giving them ideas. The Gompers High School computer lab was reworked, the FORTRAN PDP11 was retired, and we ended up with... novell netware. It was what the school district had formal support for at the time, and the computer teachers were not unix experts (or even novell experts) by any means, so in hindsight I completely understand the decision. High-school-me at the time was devastated, not understanding why the school district could not embrace our obviously technically superior unix-based proposal. Dave Harlow was one of the computer science teachers, and bore the brunt of my frustration. this song was my outlet.
